The reason for Alexandru Vagner’s death

In 2018, Vagner announced that he was retiring from football and dedicating all his time to poker. In the last months of his life, it seems that the former footballer complained of a state of fatigue due to sleepless nights and would have turned more and more often to energy drinks. This could be the reason why the athlete died.

“I didn’t see any future in football. What to do? To live from day to day? I had come to have only money to eat! Then, the Concordia Chiajna and FC Braşov episodes made me quit. I was tricked, humiliated. I ended up not sleeping at night from stress! The advantage in poker is that you don’t have a boss, you make your schedule as you want.

I can say that I am happy, because now I can do things that I was not allowed to do when I was playing football. I do not regret the decision taken to give up football. Not at all”declared Vagner, at the time of the withdrawal.

Throughout his career, Vagner played at Gloria Bistrița, Minaur Baia Mare, Forex Brașov, FCM Tg. Mureș, FC Brașov, Chiajna, and Petrolul. He ended his career in 2018, after one year at SR Brașov.
